F.A.Q.

Billing

We bill once a month. Our billing system is based on usage, therefore you must use the water before we can bill for it. Your bill will be based on the prior month’s usage. Your minimum monthly bill will always be at least $18.50 for the first 2,000 gallons and then metered after that. We do not send late notices. Any water account that is sixty days past due is assessed a $25.00 deliquent fee and may be cut off without further notice.

Adding Secondary Account Holder

Additional Service Agreement will be filled out for person to be added to account

Activation Fee of $25.00 will be collected

Copy of Customer Service Agreement will be issued at that time

Next Day Service

We Require 24 hour notice prior to turn-on or shut-offs. If you need service on/off on a Monday, please contact our office by noon the previous Friday. Please keep in mind that we are closed most federally observed holidays.

Sewer Service

DCWA does not provide sewer service. You will need to contact the sewer provider for your area. In most cases if you are on our water system you will need to contact Dorchester County Water and Sewer. The phone number for DCW&S is: (843)832-0075.
